Accumulation of Cav3.2 T-type Calcium Channels in the Uninjured Sural Nerve Contributes to Neuropathic Pain in Rats with Spared Nerve Injury

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Injuries to peripheral nerve fibers induce neuropathic pain. But the involvement of adjacent uninjured fibers to pain is not fully understood. The present study aims to investigate the possible contribution of Cav3.2 T-type calcium channels in uninjured ...

The role of T-type calcium channel genes in absence seizures [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2014
The thalamic relay neurons, reticular thalamic nucleus, and neocortical pyramidal cells form a circuit that sustains oscillatory burst firing, and is regarded as the underlying mechanism of absence seizures.

Activity-dependent regulation of T-type calcium channels by submembrane calcium ions

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are involved in numerous physiological functions and various mechanisms finely tune their activity, including the Ca2+ ion itself.

Noradrenaline upregulates T‐type calcium channels in rat pinealocytes [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, 2015
Key pointsThe mammalian pineal gland is a neuroendocrine organ that responds to circadian and seasonal rhythms. Its major function is to secrete melatonin as a hormonal night signal in response to nocturnal delivery of noradrenaline from sympathetic neurons.Culturing rat pinealocytes in noradrenaline for 24 h induced a low‐voltage activated transient ...

T‐type calcium channels as therapeutic targets in essential tremor and Parkinson's disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2023
Neuronal action potential firing patterns are key components of healthy brain function. Importantly, restoring dysregulated neuronal firing patterns has the potential to be a promising strategy in the development of novel therapeutics for disorders of ...

Calcium Channels in the Heart: Disease States and Drugs

open access: yesCells, 2022
Calcium ions are the major signaling ions in the cells. They regulate muscle contraction, neurotransmitter secretion, cell growth and migration, and the activity of several proteins including enzymes and ion channels and transporters. They participate in

Inhibition of human recombinant T‐type calcium channels by phytocannabinoids in vitro

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 2022
T‐type Ca channels (ICa) regulate neuronal excitability and contribute to neurotransmitter release. The phytocannabinoids Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol effectively modulate T‐type ICa, but effects of other biologically active phytocannabinoids ...

Estradiol enhances T-type calcium channel activation in human myometrium telocytes

open access: yesThe Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2023
Uterine peristalsis is essential for gamete transport and embryo implantation. It shares the characteristics of spontaneity, rhythmicity, and directivity with gastrointestinal peristalsis.

Voltage-Gated T-Type Calcium Channel Modulation by Kinases and Phosphatases: The Old Ones, the New Ones, and the Missing Ones

open access: yesCells, 2023
Calcium (Ca2+) can regulate a wide variety of cellular fates, such as proliferation, apoptosis, and autophagy. More importantly, changes in the intracellular Ca2+ level can modulate signaling pathways that control a broad range of physiological as well ...
